welcome
To Our Dedicated Supporters,
I am delighted to share with you the tremendous expansion that TechBridge has
experienced within the past year as we continue to widen and deepen our mission’s
impact. We’ve been growing through new nonprofit services, through the vertical
depths we can now achieve to address social challenges like hunger and poverty,
and through local engagement in more communities where nonprofits strive to help
the world with limited resources.
The upcoming year at TechBridge is the year of impact. Specifically we’re looking to
impact the fight against poverty, a sector in which the smaller nonprofits carry the
majority of the burden but have the fewest resources to acquire the technology they
need. By innovating and investing in tools and expertise targeted to these nonprofits,
we can accelerate their efforts to alleviate poverty across the nation and beyond.
But it’s not enough to invest and innovate. Like my old math teachers used to say:
you’ve got to show your work. The hardworking nonprofits we serve and you, our
generous supporters, should know that we have a global reach with a community
focus: we connect IT leaders and the business community with opportunities to empower your local nonprofit landscape with creative opportunities for involvement like
our Adopt-a-Nonprofit program, the TechBridge Ambassador group, and technology
executive nonprofit board placements.
Last year we made a bold pledge: to serve 1,000 nonprofits by 2017. We are excited
that the momentum created by your investments is bringing us closer and closer to
that goal. We’re making huge strides together, but there’s still work to be done. Let’s
keep the energy going by getting more nonprofit IT projects adopted; keep referring nonprofits that help causes you care about; and connect us with foundations,
corporations, organizations, and funders that would make meaningful partners in
advancing TechBridge’s impact.
Because of you, we can continue to fuel nonprofits in their drive towards positive
social change.
For that, we earnestly thank you.
James Franklin

Welcome to the 2015 Digital Ball
Thanks to your support of
TechBridge and the Digital Ball
Because of your support, we can celebrate yet another
year of the positive impact technology has on the
nonprofits in our community. This past year has been
one of inspiring expansion and growth for TechBridge.
That growth has enabled more nonprofits, and ultimately,
more lives to be transformed for the better. Together, let’s
continue that momentum.
Warm Regards,
Janet & Bill

Walmart), its retail store network, or directly to moms around the world.
“Not only does TechBridge provide nonprofits with technology services and solutions,
they also gather Atlanta’s IT community to connect and reconnect while enabling us to
leverage our know-how and resources to benefit nonprofits. That’s why I am honored
to support TechBridge as the 2015 Digital Ball Co-Chair.”

Affordable technology and business expertise for nonprofits
Nonprofit Technology Roadmap
Nonprofits cannot achieve full capacity without the pillars of what
makes companies successful: well-defined business objectives,
proactive management, strategic planning and sound budgeting
supported by a reliable technology infrastructure. The suite
of products and services TechBridge provides
empowers nonprofits to better serve their clients,
funders and volunteers through the use of
innovative technology. Our Nonprofit Technology
Roadmap bridges nonprofits according to their
technology maturity stage.
IT Strategy & Consulting
IT Assessment & Strategic Planning
This process is to help nonprofits, and their funders, understand
precisely in what state the organization’s technology and operational
efficiencies currently are. From there we walk nonprofits through the
technology planning process carving out the vision of how technology
could expand their reach and quality of community service. The
process includes the following:
Technology Consulting
• Discovery and assessment
• Recommendations customized according to each nonprofit’s needs
• Procurement support and access to discounted software and
services
• Project implementation at subsidized rates
• Process optimization – We define and document current
processes, discover opportunities to streamline and/or automate
and define and implement new processes.
• Software selection – We perform software reviews and
recommendations for tools such as Learning Management System
or a collaboration tool.
• Project management – We manage timelines, project plans,
and key outcomes for a project that impacts many aspects of
operations.
• Implementation services – We also manage vendors, partners,
and staff in complex rollouts of new technology tools.
New technologies and optimized business processes allow nonprofits
to do more with existing resources and increase service delivery to
the community. TechBridge, with the help of our partners, provides
comprehensive consulting services to help nonprofits maximize their
technology investments. These technology consulting services include:
case study
Caminar Latino or “Latino Journey” carries out its mission of helping Latino families affected by violence by creating safe spaces for
each family member to begin their journey towards non-violence. We’ve served Caminar Latino through several projects. Starting
with an IT assessment where we did a deep dive into their IT infrastructure, business applications and data management. Following
the assessment, two projects were launched: implementing Microsoft’s cloud-based Office 365 and moving to a centralized, online
database solution that allows tracking—which allows them to reduce case management time and reporting on the families they
serve. Through a grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation, TechBridge was able to provide Caminar Latino with a comprehensive,
cloud-based data management solution, which allows them to reduce case management time and costs, make data-driven
decisions, and increase the quality and quantity of their services to the community.

clients can connect, track and report on clients, donors, volunteers,
events and campaigns through one central location that can be
accessed anytime and anywhere.
Mobile Application
We provide nonprofits with the tools and knowledge to embrace
complete mobility so that they can thrive in a world where capturing
information, collaborating on ideas, accepting donations, and serving
clients anytime and anywhere is a reality.
• Mobile App Development – We can provide the tools,
partnerships, technology and experience to make a nonprofit’s
mobile app project a success.
• Mobile Training – Experience personalized assistance
downloading, configuring and using best-in-business mobile apps
through experimentations and more while having fun learning new

Salesforce Customization
We’ve developed, and continue to improve upon, custom modules
to address the unique programs and data management needs of
nonprofits. Custom modules can include, but are not limited to:
“Thanks to our partnership with TechBridge,
Caminar Latino has the support and resources
to get the IT infrastructure we need. In turn,
our team has been able to spend less time
on programmatic tracking and reporting and
more time in the field helping to increase the
safety and well being of Latino families affected
by domestic violence. We are so grateful
to have an organization like TechBridge in
our community who is able to provide these
essential services to nonprofits like ours.”
•Programs
• Client-intake and case management
• Emergency assistance
Microsoft Office 365
The very same applications that empower corporations to be the
utmost productive are the same that nonprofits can use to improve
their efficiency. Thanks to Microsoft’s generous support, we can help
nonprofits become powered by the cloud—where they can access
up-to-date applications and files anywhere and on any device.
Google Solutions
Nonprofit application users of Google receive email addresses, word
processing tools, spreadsheets, and presentations plus a calendaring
system, Web authoring tools and access to dozens of other flexible
and affordable services. We implement Google Solutions that make
sense for our clients.

The SCM4Hunger™ Program
We now offer a cloud-based, supply chain management platform for high-volume
food banks. It helps streamline management of food inventories and empowers
hunger-focused nonprofits to interact with corporate donors to collect food surplus
or overflows and converting that inventory into goods available to local hunger
agencies through online ordering. The SCM4Hunger program offers different
modules to accomplish this.
Food Bank Warehouses
Our SCM4Hunger Warehouse Management Module manages the inventory of
hunger relief warehouses by leveraging best practices from the for-profit world for
on-demand inventory control—while being tailored to fit the specific needs and
nomenclature of humanitarian relief in the nonprofit world.
Virtual Food Drives
Virtual Food Drive is an online fundraising tool that enables food banks to conduct virtual food drives in which donors, corporations and/or
individuals can digitally submit donations. This way we can empower food banks with a simple and effective way to do online fundraising while
simultaneously educating the donor on the additional buying power their cash donation can make.
Feeding America Food Banks
Our partners at The Feeding America Network move the majority of food for U.S. hunger relief across the country each year using the SCM4Hunger
platform. As the U.S.’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity, Feeding America provides low-income individuals and families with the fuel to
survive and even thrive. The solution we developed together includes customized online ordering, in-kind donations management and online
auction modules—called AgencyExpress, DonorExpress, and Choice respectively. Feeding America and its nationwide network of food banks can
now receive products more quickly and more efficiently than ever before.
“Millions of pounds of nutritious food donations
flow through TechBridge systems within
Feeding America. Linking this donated food
to our nationwide network of food banks, and
then to their local meal programs and food
pantries, is a vital operation that is performed
daily throughout our distribution chain.”

How You Can Get Involved
Adopt-a-Nonprofit
®
Many nonprofits are challenged to keep their focus on mission-critical initiatives. To successfully execute and grow that mission however, they
need to leverage the same business-critical technology solutions that support for-profit organizations. Unfortunately, they have to do this on a
nonprofit budget. That’s where you come in.
For those nonprofits that can’t afford even TechBridge’s subsidized rates for their technology needs, we have developed the Adopt-a-Nonprofit
program to bridge that gap. After performing a technology assessment to determine a nonprofit’s current infrastructure and organizational goals,
TechBridge develops an IT strategy/roadmap. We then identify and scope specific technology projects required to move them toward their defined
goals. If a nonprofit cannot fund a much-needed project, TechBridge seeks out a corporate partner to “adopt” the nonprofit and provide funding
and skilled volunteers, if desired, to complete the project.
®
It’s a Win for Sponsors (Adopters):
It’s a Win for Nonprofits (Adoptees)
• Delivers an outlet for IT skill-based volunteerism—use your valuable
resources and IT skills to strengthen a nonprofit engaged in a cause
you care about
• Provides a grant to offset technology project costs
• Provides employees from IT and other functional areas with skillbased volunteer opportunities to further their professional and
personal development
• Stabilizes and optimizes computing environment so focus is on
mission and not technology
• Utilizes skilled technology professionals who can assist with adopted
project
• Builds a relationship with a community-minded corporate partner
• Enhances team morale and company culture by providing group
volunteer activities (IT-related or otherwise), improving employee
retention and brand awareness
Thanks to sponsor participation in the Adopt-a-Nonprofit program,
more nonprofits will have access to the IT support they need. That
means more homeless individuals receive shelter, more troubled
children get counseling, more residents in rural areas have
healthcare, and more disadvantaged teens get access to
educational opportunities.
• Offers valuable networking opportunities with clients,
prospects and partners—receive two invitations
to each of three TechBridge sponsor appreciation
receptions throughout the year
• Enables you to build your brand among TechBridge
supporters while doing good works in the
community—a smart investment of your marketing,
sales and/or philanthropic budgets
Together we can make a difference in our
community.

Recycling
Reduce your office clutter (and carbon footprint) and give your aging
electronics a second life by donating the devices and equipment to
benefit TechBridge and the nonprofits it serves! Equipment that is not
directly put to use among TechBridge nonprofit clients is refurbished

Tee It Up For TechBridge Golf Tournament
The Atlanta Chapter of the Society for Information Management
(www.simatlanta.org) and the Georgia CIO Leadership Association
(www.georgiacio.org) invite you to experience the 9th Annual Tee It Up
For TechBridge Golf Tournament on October 26, 2015 with proceeds

Technology Community Habitat House
Leveraging TechBridge as the facilitator, a group of CIOs combined the
efforts of their companies for a service project in 2005. They decided
to build a house for a hardworking Atlanta family with Habitat for
Humanity and the tradition continues to this day.
Enjoy this annual event filled with golfing and networking with
Atlanta IT executives all for a cause you care about. With more than
175 participants in 2014, the event raised a record $91,500 for
the technology programs and services that TechBridge offers our
community’s nonprofits. Let’s keep the momentum going on Monday,
October 26 at The Golf Club of Georgia and make 2015 the biggest
year yet!
Each year, Atlanta-area corporations come together to sponsor the
build and provide 280 volunteers (from their staff) to build the house.
The build is a great opportunity for peer-to-peer networking with
others in the IT community and a rewarding team-building experience
all while building a house for a hardworking, local family.
2015 Honorary Co-Chairs
• Miriam McLemore, CIO – Global Functions at The Coca-Cola
Company
• Anil Cheriyan, CIO at SunTrust Bank, Inc.
We are underway with the 2015 build, sponsored by veterans and
newcomers.

TechBridge Ambassadors
There are easy ways to support TechBridge in your everyday life. It
is as easy as connecting your account to the partner programs of
Amazon, eBay and Kroger! A percentage of each purchase will help
support our service through nonprofits to our community. Every penny
counts!
The TechBridge Ambassadors group is growing! This volunteer
leadership council continues to advocate to nonprofits, corporations,
individuals and our community at-large on behalf of TechBridge.
The Ambassadors are comprised of a select group of professionals
dedicated to supporting our team by contributing time, expertise and a
personal financial commitment.
®
The goals of the Ambassadors is to:
• Increase community impact via Adopt-a-Nonprofit
• Increase volunteer engagement via Volunteer Receptions
• Increase donor base via Giving Days
• Increase advocacy via TechBridge University
Become a Champion for TechBridge
We’re proud to launch our inaugural Ambassador Group,
2014-2015:
Once you know who we are, who we serve and how we serve you
can easily become an advocate for us! Talk to your families, friends
and coworkers about how we serve the community and how they
too can get involved. Is your company looking for ways to give back?
Let them know about our Adopt-a-Nonprofit program or that they
can recycle used technology and devices through TechBridge. Know
people that want do volunteer work? Inform them that they can lend
their professional skills to help nonprofits enhance their technology,
operations, and/or organization practices through our team. Know a
nonprofit that has challenges with their current technology, operations
and/or systems? Have them contact us so we can assess where they
are and get them to a point of optimization. Become a champion for
TechBridge simply by spreading the word.

New Technology
TechBridge has acquired the hunger program of Aidmatrix, a nonprofit that has been accelerating food-banking operations with their supply chain
technology and community partnerships since 2000. This endeavor grows our expertise for resolving operational issues that nonprofits face.
Aidmatrix’s technology has been instrumental in pioneering the change of how supplies are delivered for everything from disaster relief to the
day-to-day needs of organizations.
The hunger program is a cloud-based, supply chain management (SCM) software that has been especially key in the operations of hunger relief
worldwide; their biggest client being Feeding America, which is a nationwide network of 200 food banks. With the help of this SCM software
technology, the Feeding America Network was able to help provide 3.3 billion meals directly to individuals and families throughout the United
States and within Puerto Rico in 2014.
We will now be able to dive deeper within the operational challenges that hinder our fellow nonprofits, especially those combatting hunger.
This venture will also further strengthen the technology solutions that we currently provide our clients.
“We view this acquisition as a great fit
for TechBridge and it ensures that
these systems, which are so important to
our network, have support and a strategic
direction. And we are glad that folks from
Aidmatrix, who have been very supportive
and involved with our business, will
continue to be part of our mission
to solve the problem of hunger in
America.”
Connie Ahalt, IT Deployment Director of Feeding America

New Frontiers
TechBridge welcomed 125 guests to the Cahaba Grand in
Birmingham, Alabama on March 21, 2015 for an elegant evening in
support of leveraging technology to alleviate social challenges in the
community. This event was the culmination of the first TechBridge
Digital Event Series in Alabama. The Series raised $77,000 to spread
the reach of TechBridge’s mission to the nonprofits of Alabama. The
crowd also raised $9,500 to adopt a technology project for Grace
House Ministries, a long-term group home for girls (ages 6-21) in
Fairfield, Alabama, who have been removed from the custody of their
families due to abuse or neglect. Like the Digital Ball in Atlanta, the
event’s attendees made new connections and learned about our
impression on the community and the avenues through which they can
get involved.
That night, Alabama Power Company CIO, David Cox, announced
that through the Alabama Power Foundation, TechBridge has been
awarded a $10,000 grant for technology assessments for six Alabama
nonprofits—these nonprofits will be selected by TechBridge’s Alabama
Advisory Board and will each receive a technology assessment to
provide a roadmap to achieving stability and operational efficiencies
and to leveraging technology to grow their mission.
Pictured here (from left to right) Alabama Power Company CIO, David Cox;
TechBridge Alabama Advisory Board Chair, Scott McGlaun; Grace House
Ministries Director of Development & Communications, Valerie Gerber; and
TechBridge CEO, James Franklin.
The goal, as with everything we do, was to spark the IT community’s
imagination for what technology can make possible for Alabama’s
nonprofits. Plans for the 2016 Digital Event Series in Alabama are
currently under way and will be announced in upcoming months.

case study
Last year’s Technology Innovation Award Winner,
the Atlanta Step Up Society (ASUS), used the award
to make the leap to the digital world. To support its
mission to help homeless veterans, ASUS solicits
donations, which are sold in its thrift store. Prior to
winning the Award, ASUS manually managed its donor
scheduling and truck routes to pick up the donations.
Moving from a completely paper-based system to
a centralized database and online route mapping
system has completely transformed the organization.
ASUS has doubled its business, the quality of its
donations has improved, fuel costs have been cut in
half, and its donors and staff are happier as shown in
the rising satisfaction scores on Yelp and Facebook.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta

Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta
nwmetroatlantahabitat.org
Historic Oakland Foundation
oaklandcemetery.com
Since 1960, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta (BBBSMA)
has provided children facing adversity with strong and enduring,
professionally supported, one-to-one relationships that change their
lives for the better, forever.
Proposed Project
The online CRM system developed by the national BBBS organization
does not meet all the needs of the Atlanta affiliate. BBBSMA wishes
to augment its CRM system to reduce paper, efficiently track client
data, and more easily generate reports for partners, grants and
internal review. Additionally, enhancing its website, implementing
an online scheduling application, and utilizing a “live chat” feature
during work hours will make it easier for volunteers and parents to
find information, apply for the program and get questions answered
in real time.
Impact on Organization’s Efficiency and Effectiveness
Current response time to new inquiries is seven days with only 19%
of those who inquire about the program coming in for an interview.
Using the online scheduling application, volunteers and parents will
be able to log on and select a convenient interview time increasing
in-person interviews to an estimated 35%. Specific requirements
for match monitoring, including regular check-ins with volunteers,
children and parents, are set by the national organization. BBBSMA
currently averages 85% for on-time compliance for this requirement.
Eliminating the need to make multiple follow-up phone calls, live chat
would allow participants to sign on during office hours and check-in
with a match specialist increasing BBBSMA’s compliance to its goal
of 99%.
Innovative Use of Technology
Leveraging responsive technologies, such as online scheduling
and live chat, to provide real-time support to volunteers, parents
and children is essential to making them feel more supported by
BBBSMA. Employing a comprehensive CRM system that better
manages its client and program data can propel BBBSMA toward its
goal of doubling the number of children served without increasing
staff or expenses.

2015 Technology Innovation Award Finalists
Habitat for Humanity of
Northwest Metro Atlanta
Historic Oakland Foundation
Since 1986 Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta
has been dedicated to helping eliminate substandard housing
by constructing and rehabilitating houses in Cobb, Douglas and
Paulding counties; advocating for fair and just housing policies; and
providing training and accessible resources to help families improve
their shelter conditions.
Founded in 1976, the Historic Oakland Foundation (HOF) partners with
the City of Atlanta to preserve, restore, enhance, and share Oakland
Cemetery with the public. Oakland is an outdoor sculpture museum
with monuments recognized by the Smithsonian, an arboretum
recognized by the Association of Public Gardens and Arboreta, and a
certified Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary.
Proposed Project
Hampered by an obsolete CRM system, a taxed IT system and a
desktop-based office, Habitat seeks to become more responsive and
more mobile. Implementing a new CRM system to efficiently manage
and communicate with volunteers and donors and enable offsite
homeowner application, selection and property acquisition, will make
this a reality.
Proposed Project
Oakland Cemetery is consistently ranked within the top 5 Atlanta
attractions by TripAdvisor.com hosting an estimated 50,000 visitors
annually. To enhance the visitor’s experience, HOF envisions a
comprehensive mobile app that will provide a self-guided tour,
information about the cemetery including history, architectural and
horticultural highlights, and notables buried there, as well as schedules
and push notifications for special events and tours.
Impact on Organization’s Efficiency and Effectiveness
Moving to the cloud will result in Habitat saving at least $63,550/
year by eliminating the need to open and staff a satellite office.
Mobile volunteer sign-up will save hours of coordinator time and
improve service to volunteers by allowing them to sign-up 24/7
from anywhere and receive immediate feedback about their chosen
activity. This drastically streamlined process will likely result in an
additional savings of nearly $8,000 in time per year.
Impact on Organization’s Efficiency and Effectiveness
Providing detailed information and self-guided tours of Oakland
Cemetery along with schedules of other tours and upcoming events,
the app would significantly reduce the number of calls currently
handled by staff. HOF estimates that this savings will allow them to
reapply over 676 hours/year of labor thereby increasing attendance
and revenue without increasing staff time. This is also expected to
increase the number of visitors taking all types of tours by 10% in year
one at no additional cost to HOF.
Innovative Use of Technology
Currently, Habitat sponsors coordinate their own volunteers.
Online sign-up would allow them to manage their volunteers
more efficiently—enhancing the sponsorship experience. Once all
volunteer slots are filled, the event will automatically close preventing
too many volunteers onsite, which is a safety hazard. Presently, no
Habitat affiliates have a fully automated online registration system.
Additionally, integrating online sign-up with a CRM system will
enable Habitat to seamlessly add volunteers to its fundraising efforts,
document volunteer hours and produce various CEM reports.
Innovative Use of Technology
A leader among historic cemeteries and other cultural venues, HOF
seeks to build a multi-faceted experience in which visitors explore
and enjoy Oakland: as a historical resource, outdoor museum, city
park, arboretum, garden, and venue for events. HOF is also creating
a hierarchal geodatabase to serve as a repository for historical and
restoration information—including mapped locations of 70,000
interred residents, historical and significant trees/plants in the
gardens, and details about restoration projects.
